Oh please pie spare us your drivel. The ship was designed and built by Israel.
BTW your oh so great Hizballah did a real bang up job sinking that Egyptian cargo ship, though. I guess that is one less cargo ship bringing supplies to cities in the Med. Not to mention Egypt's opinion of Lebanon/Hizballah.
Three Sa'ar 5 ships were built by Northrop Grumman Ship Systems (formerly Litton-Ingalls Shipbuilding Corporation of Pascagoula, Mississippi) for the Israeli Navy, based on Israeli designs. The Sa'ar 5 ships are considered the Israeli fleet's most advanced surface ships, costing US$260 million each.
The first of class, INS Eilat, was launched in February 1993, followed by INS Lahav in August 1993 and INS Hanit in March 1994.

BTW thats not my Hizbollah. I think its terrible that it takes a militia group Instead of a great country like the USA to stand up for a race of people being slowly murdered.
You are assuming that the Israeli's didn't shoot at that boat thinking it was The USS Liberty again.
